Sneak preview to be delayed
With plans delayed by technical difficulties, Fritz Lang, outstanding European and American motion picture director, today announced that the sneak preview of his new United Artists production, “Unconquered,” may be held up until early next week.
Final arrangements will be settled at a meeting to be held tomorrow. Invitations will be issued then and final details decided upon.
A selected audience of faculty members and students will receive the invitations, and representatives from all social and economic groups will be present at the first showing.
Arranged by Prof. Frank Judson, former head of the cinema department, the preview will be held in the Hancock hall auditorium.
reoccupation of Rostov, picturesque Don Cossack town grown to a modern city of 500,000, in a dramatic broadcast of a special communique recorded here by the United Press.
(A German official news agency dispatch broadcast by the Berlin radio late Sunday admitted that Rostov and Voroshilovgrad had been evacuated.
The evacuation was effected ‘‘according to plan after all important installations had been destroyed/* the dispatch said.)
The great city was wrested from the German invaders after several days of fierce fighting, blasting out the southern foothold of the nazis as they reeled back through the Ukraine to the northwest under crushing Soviet blows.
A major Russian victory In its own right was the capture of Voroshilovgrad, key German base in the Donets basin, which had been by-passed and virtually isolated by a wide swinging flank maneuver now threatening to clamp the remnants of the Rostov garrison and the Donets army in a ring of steel.
Coincident with the report of the smashing Soviet triumphs* another of even greater import appeared to be in the swift making—the springing of the Red army trap on Kharkov, Russia’s fourth city.
United Press dispatches from Moscow said Soviet assault forces fighting in a blizzard burst through a heavy German defense barrage to the outskirts of Kharkov and laid virtual siege to tho city, already three-quarters encircled.. .
Bristling Soviet spearheads wera stabbing at Kharkov from three sides, and armored forces in a great tank battle smashed through the German lines, wrecked 29 nazi tanks, and swept through several settlements at the southwestern fringe of the Kharkov suburbs.
The fall of Rostov this time— Marshal Semyon Timoshenko reclaimed it from the Germans once before, a week after they captured it on Nov. 22, 1941—was foreshadowed by the tightening of the assault arc the Soviets threw against it from the south bank of the Don and in a frontal onslaught from the east.
The nazis took Rostov for tha second time on July 28, 1942, in their sweep to the southeast which weis brought up short at Stalingrad and converted into the biggest military disaster of Adolf Hitler’s military career.

The conferences, side glances, and high hopes which were raised by the sight of the old Trojan obstacle course being uprooted by powerful men and machinery Friday moi'rting was simply another wishful dream which turned out to be nothing but a mirage to the disappointed men students who thought that they were either going to be forgiven the perilous athletic exercise or that they were to be subjected to an even more strenuous program. “The obstacle course.” said
course,” said Dr. William La Porte, head of the physical education department, “has finally gotten into our hair, or at least the hair of the baseball and preflight men who use Bovard field each afternoon, so we have decided to change the position of the course in order to give more room to these activities.”
hazards will be straightened out and a single course will be used instead of the present U-shaped track. The third obstacle, cne which has increased the business of local laundries, will be eliminated as it involves crawling on one’s stomach and taking the chance of either

Good news for the hopefuls who saw the end of physical torture is the fact that this semester each student will be allowed eight cuts during the 16 weeks of the program. He may take these Vacations at any time he wishes, although it would be wise to have a “bank” of these free cuts for sickness and other necessary absences from claSs.
at which time the student work is presented to the audience of noted professional critics, members of the faculty, and persons who have submitted entries.

Work which is worthy of praise will be given credit, and persons whose work will be performed will be the .personal guests of Dr. and Mrs. Rufus B. von, KleinSmid.
All those who submit material wili receive tickets for themselves and their friends.
“Short stories, plays, drama, music, * and • poetry win be accepted,’* stated Miss Rew, “and anyone interested may still call at the speech
